Henry Vollmer, Frank Hempfeld
and Guy Dibble were arrested yester-
day during fire in a lumber yard,
and one of the men made confession
duplicating the others that they have
been the cause of several of the lum-
ber fires which occurred at st. Louis
recently, aggregating loss of $50, 900.
They said they had tried to get work
at the yards and been refused. II
was thought that the Anarchists had
led in number of the fires which have
been unprecedented recently, but these
arrests fix the blame right.
The east-bound overland fast ex-
press train over the Central Pacific,

damaged and the express cars tele-

The Coroner's jury have failed to
arrive at a verdict as to the cause OF
the explosion of the boiler in Wilson'S

cause of the explosion, breaking the
boiler into a number OF pieces as i,
did.

VALLEJO, November 22.-The
French man-of-war Duquesne, which
went up to Vallejo last week to go
upon the stone dock for repairs, was
successfully docked this morning. The
process occupied half an hour. This
is the largest dry dock on the Pacific
Coast. The ship draws twenty-seven
feet of water, but entered without
difficulty, which proves that this har-
Dor is capable of receiving the largest
ships. Over two hundred visitors
came up from San Francisco and
thousands visited the scene from
Vallejo. The process of pumping out
the dock is now going on slowly. to
enable the Frenchman to reach the

BURNED TO DEATH.
Frightful Fate OF an Old Soldier
at Vancouver.

at Vancouver.
PORTLAND, Or, November PA
special from Vancouver, w. IT,, says: /:
Fire broke out early this morning in
the old Baker house, occupied by Pat
rick Clancy, his wife and little boy.
The boy was saved, but Clancy and
wife perished, as the flames spread SO
rapidly that it was impossible to res
cue them. Clancy had Just been dis
charged from Captain Frank Taylor's
battery, in which he had served dur
ing the war, and for thirty years his
record was that OF brave soldier.
The building was small and the fire
spread all over the roof and sides in a
few minutes, thus cutting off every
avenue of escape. The couple were
asleep when the flames were first dis
covered, and probably never had time
to get out of bed.
LATER PARTICULARS
From Vancouver, w. T., with regard
to the fatal fire at the barracks state
that before the flames had burned out
the bodies were discovered burning in
the ruins, presenting a sickening sight.
Clancy's body was nearest the front
door, in fact not more than six feet
from it, while his wife's was nearly in
the bedroom, where both had been
sleeping. 1t is evident that after his
wife had rushed out of doors the old
man attempted to follow her, but had
been
OVERCOME BY THE SMOKE
Just before reaching the open air.
Mrs. Clancy had then rushed back to
the bedroom to rouse her husband,
not noticing his body in the hall as
she passed and moment later she
too had been overpowered by the
deadly smoke. Tho Coroner now has
charge Of what remains of the victims
bodies. Tho remains will be buried
tomorrow with military honors.

The Chinese Concessions.

Perhaps no subject has received so much
discussion in commercial and banking cir
cles as the Chinese Concessions. Consid-
cradle interest has been manifested in the
matter since the Chinese government has
not at all times favored the privileges
which the treaty would give to foreigners.
After the Premier of China had obtained
the royal approval, there was sudden
change in his highness' disposition toward
the project. This change. upon investi-
CATION, was found attributable to the in
fluence of English government officials,
who were endesvoring to secure the same
rights tor their countrymen. which
it was proposed to accord to Ameri-
can capitalists. The English were
chiefly concerned because they saw that
the admission of American capital would
destroy their commercial supremacy in
China consequently they developed bit
ter and INSCRIPTIONS opposition. not hes
ita,ing to employ such misrepresentation
as would affect the extremely sensitive
disposition of the Chinese. But the Pre-
mier. ably seconded by American finan
ciers, has succeeded IN demonstrating the
falsity of these misrepresentation, and in
gaining the final consent of the Emperor
to the concessions to American capitalists.
The value of these concessions can, at
present, be hardly realized. That they
are very important is shown by the oppo-
sition manifested by the English, the
French, and the Germans. These con-
cessions are the foundation of a commercial
growth like that which has characterized
those nations which have forced them
selves through the bars which the con-
seryative Eastern nations have put up.
The same course which has been followed
by American capitalists in this instance,
should be followed by capital in other
Eastern countries. The establishment of
the commercial relations with the States
OF South America, long urged by some of
the ablest financiers of the day, should inn
mediately follow this advantage. Private
enterprise of this kind should be fostered
by the government since its benefits are
indirectly if not directly national.

Mr.. w. E. Johnson:
| have examined carefully the set of
Johnson's Cyclopedia purchased three
months ago and can cheerfully recommend
it as being in all respects as good, and in
many features better than represented to
me by the agent. All important articles
are signed by authorities acknowledged
through the world as the highest in
their several departments of knowledge
and the work is so arranged as to give
clear and definite information on the sew
eral subjects treated. While at the same
time the matter is condensed by emitting
all superfluous words and terms, so that
the busiest man can afford time for its con-
sultation. For the scholar it affords in
valuable and reliable information. revised
by the light of the latest discoveries, and
for the mass of the people who have a
thirst for knowledge with but limited
time and means for acquiring it, the work
has no superior and no equal.
Very Respectfully yours.
GEO. H. Brown.
